Fear of America becoming more brown gave us Trump. I have no problem with the browning of America. smile

No, that is the fairy tale that people on the left tell themselves so that they can feel morally superior. It has the effect of causing people on the right to utterly dismiss them when they talk about race, and it has the effect of immunizing actual racists such as the current White House occupant to the charge.

America's original sin was steeped in Conservatism. Conservatives are all about racism and bigotry.

Racism and bigotry are not a Democrat or Republican ideology, but racism and bigotry are both 100% Conservative ideologies.

Conservative Democrats called fought a war to keep slavery legal, Liberal Republicans fought a war to keep black Americans free and independent humans.

Conservative Democrats also wrote Jim Crow laws and started the KKK

In 1964 when the Civil Rights Act was signed, Conservative Dixiecrat Democrats switched to the Republican party to spite Lyndon Johnson. Richard Nixon also recruited the Conservative Democrats under his "Southern Strategy" effort.

Conservatism in the United States is the only common thread to pre-1964 racist and bigoted Conservative Democrats and post-1964 racist and bigoted Republicans.

Conservatism and its bigotry are why Prop 8 passed in California in 2008 passed in 2008. The very same Afrian American Democratic base that came-out in overwhelming support of voting for America's first black president, also used their vote to deny California same-sex marriage.

Pete Buttigieg polling with African Americans further illustrate this point that conservative bigotry is alive and well in America in 2020.
